Yaweh my Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like those of a deer and enables me to walk on mountain heights!
I believe this officially marks the beginning of a Class of 2011 Forum. I feel so honored to point that out. It's my first post classification post. I'd like to thank the Academy, Whiteblaze, and Jester.
A friend and I are begining to plan our 2011 hike too.
Heading out April 1st, 2011. Looking forward to it!
I've been looking forward to meeting other hikers planning for 2011. I was beginning to think it was just me. Disney, wandering dreamer, and FritztheCat, looking forward to gettin to know ya!

this is going to be fun! im lookin to leave springer around april 1st, the day named in my honor!
yep. i'm starting in 2011, as well. at least one (probably two) of my friends is comming along, but i'm not really going to worry about us all finishing the trail together. they will do what they want to. i'm actually graduating high school 6 months early and pushing back college for a year to hike the trail. woot!
however, i have no idea when i'm starting. i don't want to be too cold though, so probably not until after mid-march. i will have no deadlines or obligations to finish early, so starting date is not a big issue.
Bulldawg will also be starting a NOBO in 2011 . . .
I'll be starting the trail around Feb 20th roughly. cant wait, even though its so far off. anyone else starting around then?
I think that's when Bulldawg is starting. . .
I'm hoping to hit the trail in 2011 provided I pay off my credit cards and save some money up. Looking at a late March start date.
My daughter (will be 17) and I plan on leaving Springer March 1st.

sidebackside: Hitting the trails in 2011......perhaps I'll see you on the trail? Happy hiking!
Cjevne/elizardph: I'm taking off the last Friday of February. (25 Feb 2011) I'll keep a look-out for you both in the trail registers in case you get an earlier start than me. Going solo, but occasional company would be a nice change! Hope to see you on the trail!!
Right now the lay-off schedule at the space center is April (too late) and September (too early). I figure I'll get it in September, so I'm shooting for mid March. Of course I probably won't be able to wait that long. Too much anticipation for me. I'm ready to go now!!!
i've been working on creating a fellow hiker out of a few of my friends, so shortly i should have a partner to attempt a thru hike or atleast partial thru hike with. i've done all of NJ and part of NY/PA/ the shens and harpers ferry... def want to go for a hike thought ( a long hike) at that before the world comes to a close, if thats what ppl decided 2012 should be...
